Efficiently Learning Random Fields for Stereo Vision with Sparse Message Passing
As richer models for stereo vision are constructed, there is a growing interest in learning model parameters. To estimate parameters in Markov Random Field (MRF) based stereo formu...

Illumination and Person-Insensitive Head Pose Estimation Using Distance Metric Learning
Head pose estimation is an important task for many face analysis applications, such as face recognition systems and human computer interactions. In this paper we aim to address the...

Segmentation and Recognition Using Structure from Motion Point Clouds
We propose an algorithm for semantic segmentation based on 3D point clouds derived from ego-motion. We motivate five simple cues designed to model specific patterns of motion and 3...

Beyond Nouns: Exploiting Prepositions and Comparative Adjectives for Learning Visual Classifiers
Learning visual classifiers for object recognition from weakly labeled data requires determining correspondence between image regions and semantic object classes. Most approaches u...

Grassmann Registration Manifolds for Face Recognition
Abstract. Motivated by image perturbation and the geometry of manifolds, we present a novel method combining these two elements. First, we form a tangent space from a set of pertur...

Localizing Objects with Smart Dictionaries
Abstract. We present an approach to determine the category and location of objects in images. It performs very fast categorization of each pixel in an image, a brute-force approach...

What Is a Good Nearest Neighbors Algorithm for Finding Similar Patches in Images?
Many computer vision algorithms require searching a set of images for similar patches, which is a very expensive operation. In this work, we compare and evaluate a number of neares...

Semi-supervised On-Line Boosting for Robust Tracking
Abstract. Recently, on-line adaptation of binary classifiers for tracking have been investigated. On-line learning allows for simple classifiers since only the current view of the ...

Scale Invariant Action Recognition Using Compound Features Mined from Dense Spatio-temporal Corners
Abstract. The use of sparse invariant features to recognise classes of actions or objects has become common in the literature. However, features are often "engineered" to...

Multiple Component Learning for Object Detection
Abstract. Object detection is one of the key problems in computer vision. In the last decade, discriminative learning approaches have proven effective in detecting rigid objects, a...
